Well this is pretty great, I hope it gets mass adoption across WordPress sites
It doesn’t explicitly list Lemmy compatibility, but it should be fine given it works with Mastodon, right?
Looking at the Mastodon and Lemmy documentations, yes it should work.
- Lemmy accepts posts with the:
Page,Article,Note,VideoandEventactivities. - Mastodon accepts toots with the
Page,Article,Note,Video,Event,Image,AudioandQuestionactivities.
As you can see there’s a large overlap between the two, so I say it’s likely that it will work. I could bring this even further by having a look at the plugin’s code but unfortunately I’m alergic to both PHP and SVN and wordpress uses both.
The plugin is maintained on GitHub, but yeah it’s still a lot of PHP
Oh thanks for that. Looking at the plugin’s wordpress page I ended up on a wordpress SVN page and thought I had to browse that. My allergy is already much better, I might have a look after all.
Based on this it looks like the user can choose article or note: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/blob/163d9e931c407463bf254ce55bd45f400468982c/templates/settings.php#L158
what else could it possibly be coded in while maintaining compatibility with wordpress, a php application, and its modest server requirements?

You’d think so, but Lemmy barely manages to federate with kbin at the best of times, so it’s not really a guarantee.
Cool, I hope this gets mass adopted, so that I can replace my RSS reader with my Mastodon account.
I still prefer RSS and I wish all blogs would have RSS. That being said, of course it’s great if they offer ActivityPub as well and I hope both are used as wide as possible.
Been using this plugin for a while now, and it honestly makes it super simple to get your blog on the fediverse. Really cool, and I recommend it if your site is on WordPress. You basically have to do a tiny bit of set up, then you can pretty much forget them plugin is even there, it just works.
One day, everyone will have their own personal homepage. With under construction banners.
what is the result of being on the fediverse, I just can’t picture the thing. You can be found from mastodon, or is it link to account on different plateformes?
Like your publication are directly pushed on whatever social network you linked?
Basically, people on other activitypub services like Mastodon can follow your posts on WordPress and they’ll see them in their feed like any other content. You can install another plugin to follow others on the Fediverse from within your WordPress site as well, but I haven’t felt the need for that yet personally.
My only complaint is that each individual blog administrator must learn about this addon and enable it. So subscribing to a given blog in the hopes of having AP support is literally trial and error.
Looks promising! Will check it out. I‘m a little wary of lemmy integration since I see lemmy as a forum, kind of. Mastodon makes more sence to me for a blog.
I tried to make a subreddit for a project in the past and it didn’t work at all. It’s just not the best fit for a forum imo except if the project is highly adopted already and discussed. For news and updates, a blog makes more sense.
